I'm Still Crafting

I just realized that I haven't talked much about crafty stuff lately. This is a "craft" blog, right? hehe, oops. So, to prove to you that I actually do still make things, here are a few of my recent creations in no particular order....

I crocheted this cute cupcake using a free pattern from Lion Brand Yarn. You have to sign up to get their free patterns, but that's no biggie.

I'm always trying to come up with new and exciting uses for my monkeys. These are 3 new styles that are now available (or soon to be) in my shop.

The French Press Monkey, or Caffatiere for you posh types. I have Jenn & Josh to thank for that idea. The one in the middle is a little trinket box type thing. The lid comes off & you can put things inside! And for those of you who have gone green, I've created the Klean Kanteen Monkey, now available for the 27oz. size. If you need to get yourself a Klean Kanteen, click here.

I'm also working away at a pattern for my zipper pouches. It's a slow, slow process, but it's coming along. I'm ready to lay it all out now. This is the pouch I photographed for the instructions. You like?

See? I've still got my craft on. What have you made lately? I'd love to hear about it.

Lonely little monkeys

My poor little monkey friends have been feeling left out lately so I decided to give you a peek at what they've been up to. This morning I introduced Monkey Travel Club Greetings into my Etsy shop. This is the first of many travel note cards that will be available...

I've got several London cards and some California ones too. We'll see how well they do before I get crazy making more. haha

And last week I added the new monkey pendant/charm to the shop.

This is what it looks like when worn as a necklace. I think they're pretty cute, but I'm kind of partial I guess. Anyway, stop in & see these new guys if you like. There's a new striped coffee cozy too if you're feeling patriotic, you might like Sam.
